With the progress of Los Angeles is no.

houses. So many changes are daily taking
place that the opening of an ordinary bust
ness embarkment receives but passing
comment But during the past month one
| OF our Oldest stores has been undergoing
such extensive repairs that not few of our
citizens have paused and made the remark,
What is IL going to be-" The estab ish-
ment in question is the Reception Saloon
and Parlors, in the Temple Block. This
place, which has been under going extensive
to the public at 3 O'Clock to-day by our pop
| ular and well known townsmau Charles
| Schroeder and John Galley, late proprietor of
the Laurel Palace, the finest fitted up sa-
loon on Bush and Kelrney streets, N San
| Francisco. Beyond reasonable doubt this
| saloon may justly be termed the best
stocked and most palatial in southern Cali
| tornia, and equipped as iully as any like
house on the Pacific Coast. Mr.. Schroeder,
| who has been in business here for the past
| five years. has gained the reputation of
keeping the best liquors. His establish
| ment, the Bureau saloon, at 3Os North Main
all over the Coast, and SO much SO com

| have been heard 10 often remark. "when

| III Los Angeles go 10 OuhTlty 5uTOutTb bu-
reau saloon. Mr.. John Galley, Schroders
partner, is also well known ON this coast.
His universal popularity is due solely to the
| fact that he always believed in having the
finest saloon and the finest goods By
| long experience he has obtained thorough
knowledge of the wants of the public, and
| always caters to their wishes. Therefore,
when such q team as this make up their
minds to open the finest saloon in Southern
alifornia, people can rest assured that 1t
will be such. The reception, as has before
been stated, is elegantly fitted up in every
respect. The ceiling has been frescoed in
| oil colors by skilled artists, who have paint
| ed appropriate ancient pictures on the cell
ing. The sides of the saloon have been
wainscoted. and the entire woodwork
painted in rich and glossy white. The
| resort has two entrances, one on Main street
and the other on Spring street. On the
Main street entrance are two sitting rooms,
| which are also elegantly fitted mp. In the
| main room of the saloon arc fine French
plate mirrors, and the sideboards behind
| the bar are of pnre mahogany, with mirrors
| set in and decorated with classical Italian
and Egyptian statues OF appropriate Sizes
| On the SpriDg street entrance is another
gentleman's room, and the toilet room
| which are neatly and costly arranged. The
fitting up of the establishment was entirely
under the supe vision of Mr.. Galley, who has
| spared neither pains or expense to have the
house take the leading position. which 1t
| has or will most certainly gain. The glass
ware is of the finest and most delicate pat
| tesn, and on which the word Reception
has been uniquely etched. The stocking OF
the saloon was in the hands OF Mr.. Schro-
der. He knows good article, and be-
lieves that the only way in doing a
| firstclass business is in keeping such. To
this may be ascribed the fact that he has
| cleared quite snug little fortune out of
his Bureau saloon. Mr.. Schroeder made a
special selection of his stock, and like many
enterprising men in different businesses
here has secured many liquors that no other
house here has. The WHISTLES selected,
which are stored in the spacious and cool
cellar underneath the saloon, include o. p.
